Argos Shimano riders pushed Farrar off their bus while staff from the American’s Garmin-Sharp team ran to pull him back inside their own bus, which was parked nearby.

Neither Farrar nor Garmin-Sharp manager Jonathan Vaughters would comment on the rider’s outburst. Roy Curvers, a Dutch rider from Argos-Shimano, said Farrar came looking for Veelers.
